Facility management system : Neoffice Book My Meal Mobile App
The last two years have been eventful to the history of mankind to say the least. While the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the everyone ‘s health and the health management systems of countries around the world, a significant consequence of this pandemic was the change in the way we worked.
Work from home transitioned from just being a perk to some sectors to a new normal for all in organisations – big or small. What many expected that is disruption to work to be a temporary situation turned into a long period away from the workplace.
However, with widespread vaccinations and the easing of COVID restrictions across most countries, there has been a shift to move back to working from the office in a phrased manner, with hybrid work which gives the employee the choice to choose days they work from home or office being the new normal .
Companies on their part have had to realign many of their employee related policies and procedures to ensure the safe return of employees to the workplace. Social distancing, sanitization protocol, adherence to safety guidelines etc are becoming second nature for most employees.
Catering for the returning employees
One of the areas where there has been the most significant change is on the aspect of in office dining at the office cafeteria
With employees coming back to work on campuses with the new protocols in place, changes in the catering and dining system are unavoidable. Many organisations have been able to make the change and move seamlessly to meet the new requirements through digitisation of the cafeteria.
Prior to COVID, a digital cafeteria was a choice, but now it’s a necessity, else you can’t manage crowding of cafes

Also, the admin has far more realistic feedback on the services provided at the cafeteria and also better visibility of sales at the cafeteria.
For employees

They can choose to pick it up from the vendor after they get a ‘Ready’ notification or get it delivered to their desk.
